Apparent Ca40 spectroscopic data issue about arc-alkali-rydberg-calculator

[nikolasibalic]

Thank you for reporting this error. We missed to insert data for low-lying Ca states. At the moment these are just extrapolated values from high-lying states, but that cannot give good results for low-lying states. I will correct this tomorrow (Monday) and update here on status once update is pushed to PyPI.

@rbrown This should be resolved in ARC 3.0.8 available now in PyPI. Please reopen issue if problems persist.

In principle divalent data is still scarce, and we need to expand it as it becomes available. Thank you for sharing that reference, and please do share any other relevant data too.

Thank you Nikola,

I did think of a few more references of potential interest. I am not familiar with your desired work flow for these minor contributions. Should I create a branch, commit references (to a specific location?), and submit a pull request? or just post them as a comment?

Thank you Roger,

At the moment we keep references in documentation, citing them in comments depending where the values are used (documentation is generated from code comments so everything is on one place). Mostly it's *_data.py files and /data folder. If you have specific update there, you can submit pull request.

Alternatively, if you just have a list of various references that might come useful at different places, textual contribution in a form of open issue it is great. I will go through them then.

If you need any assistance, I am here to help, Many thanks for contribution!
